That's improper framing of the issues. News organizations have the right to take an editorial position & always have. OTOH, they have an obligation to do so in a fact based manner which is precisely what's wrong with Fox news, for example.

Lol. and look at how all the pathetic little quislings now congregate in the "Evil Marxist!" thread and bash on nothing, all the while their Quisling-in-chief gets fed to the meat shredder in a rather telling, rather real, rather serious and eventful day. They have completely fled the actual information threads. It's too god damn terrifying for their fragile, tiny, minds.

Look at them sweat. Look at them piss their pants. Look at them cry and moan, like typical little quislings just before their despot is being tossed out of power and their endless support is bared for all.

Ocasio-Cortez stops by the place she used to work to wish it farewell. It’s closing down in part due to rising minimum wage, a policy she supports. Honestly though she’s right on this, if they can’t pay them a living wage it’s best they don’t have jobs at all.

I'm sure that this point had nothing to do with the closure: "The rents are very high"



"So far this year, many New York City bars have shut its doors for reasons pertaining to rent.

Longtime Times Square Irish bar Langan’s — a 25-year-old pub at 150 W. 47th St. — closed on Jan. 18. That same month, Coogan’s — a Washington Heights bar — also closed, citing a monthly rent increase by $40,0000.

After that, Eamonn's Bar & Grill shut down and has since been gutted. According to a note posted on the door of Eamonn's, those owners — the same team behind PJ Moran's and Foxy John's Bar & Kitchen — chose not to renew their lease.

Langan's blamed its landlord for wanting to raise its rent, while Eamonn's simply said it "ceased operations." In February, 10-year-old Asian nightclub Circle closed its doors."

But go ahead, whine about the socialist. That's the *real* issue.

He lives in Louisiana and is trying to talk about local issues in New York. He has no idea what he’s talking about, he’s looking for reasons to justify what he already thinks.

Rent is the problem in New York, not wages. Anyone who lives here knows that.

I live in a different country and I suspect that I have a better understanding of what's going on in NYC than he does.

Same issue is occurring here in Toronto (4th/5th largest city by population in North America). We're at $14/hr minimum wage and while its effect on unemployment is non-zero, it's a speck in the eye compared to what property value changes are doing to this city.

While better zoning and YIMBYism is one thing. we gotta get mid-sized cities back in the game or everyone's going to have a 2-hour commute to their downtown city job. Ugh.

On topic: Do I like that Ocasio-Cortez did this? I do not. Am I worried about it being the rule and not the exception? No, not yet. Do I think that American conservatives are giddy with joy about being able to whataboutism because of this single instance whereas their own senators and Congressmen don't even hold public events anymore? 100% yes.

The author is an up and coming young right wing hatchet man, I'll give you that. And that wasn't her most recent employer, either-

Anyone who lives here knows rising rents are the real problem. He doesn’t live here and has maybe never even visited NYC so he saw a story that told him what he wanted to hear.

The real issue in NYC is zoning problems. Zoning sucks.

Do you even get tired of being wrong on EVERY issue?

If I was constantly proven wrong in every thread, just about the basic facts of an issue/story, you'd think I'd start to question my sources of information and news. But that's me, I guess.
